Abstract

Electrostatic repulsion between two DNA molecules, computed from explicit water-free energy simulations, is screened stronger by Na+ counterions than K+ counterions. An effective electrostatic potential was constructed for a coarse-grained model, where each base pair is represented by a bead.
